Matio 8
1 Ie nizotso boak’am-bohitse ey t’i Iesoà le norihe’ i lahialeñey,
When Jesus had come down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
2 Intike te pok’ eo ty aman’ angamae niambane ama’e, nanao ty hoe: O Rañandria, mahajangañ’ ahy v’iheo?
He saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said, ‘Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.’
3 Nahiti’ Iesoà ty fità’e, nitsapa aze le nanao ty hoe: Satriko t’ie halio, maliova. Le nilioveñe amy haangamae’ey re amy ora zay.
Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’ Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;
4 Le hoe t’i Iesoà tama’e: Mitaoa tsy hatalili’o ama’ ondaty, fe akia mb’amy mpisoroñey mb’eo, le ibanabanao ty enga linili’ i Mosè amy Ha’areoy.
and then Jesus said to him, ‘Be careful not to say a word to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
5 Ie nigodañe mb’e Kapernaome-hamartà ao t’i Iesoà, le nifanalaka ami’ty mpifehe-zato nihalaly ama’e
After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.
6 ty hoe: O Rañandria, màndre an-trañoko ao i ana-dahikoy, tokoe’ ty hakepeke, ie deme’e ty amy hasilo’ey.
‘Sir,’ he said, ‘my manservant is lying ill at my house with a stroke of paralysis, and is suffering terribly.’
7 Hoe t’i Iesoà tama’e: Homb’eo raho hañafak’aze.
‘I will come and cure him,’ answered Jesus.
8 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i mpifehe-zatoy: O Rañandria, tsy sazò ahy ty homba’o ambane’ tafo-trañoko ao, iantofo avao, le ho jangan-dre.
‘Sir,’ the centurion went on, ‘I am unworthy to receive you under my roof; but only speak, and my manservant will be cured.
9 Mpanan-kakeo raho, naho manan-dily aman-tsoavala reke-piningitse; ie anoeko ty hoe: Dañe! ami’ty raike le mandeha, Mb’etoa, le pok’eo, vaho amo mpitorokoo ty hoe: Ano zao, le anoe’iereo.
For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them “Go,” he goes, and to another “Come,” he comes, and to my slave “Do this,” he does it.’
10 Jinanji’ Iesoà, le nilatsa vaho hoe re amo mpañorike azeo: Eka! to t’ivolañako te mbe tsy nahatrea fatokisam-bey manahake zao e Israele ao raho.
Jesus was surprised to hear this, and said to those who were following him, ‘Never I tell you, in any Israelite have I met with such faith as this!
11 Taroñeko ama’ areo te maro ty hitotsake boak’ atiñanañe añe naho hirik’ ahandrefañe añe hitrao-pitofàñe amy Abraàme naho am’ Isaka vaho am’ Iakobe amy fifehean-dikerañey,
Yes, and many will come in from East and West and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
12 fe hafetsake an-kamoromoroñan-tsikeokeok’ ao o ana’ i fifeheañeio; fangololoihañe naho ali-vazañe ty ho ao.
while the heirs to the kingdom will be banished into the darkness outside; there, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
13 Le hoe t’i Iesoà tamy mpifehe-zatoy: Akia; fa ama’o ty amy natokisa’oy, vaho nijangañe amy ora zay i ajalahiy.
Then Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go now, and it will be according to your faith.’ And the man was cured that very hour.
14 Ie henane zay, nizilike añ’anjomba’ i Petera ao t’i Iesoà, le naheo’e te natindri’ ty hamae-sandriñe i rafoza’e ampelay.
When Jesus went into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law prostrated with fever.
15 Nitsapae’e ty fità’e le nisitak’ aze i firemporempo’ey, vaho nitroatse nitoroñ’ aze.
On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to take care of him.
16 Ie tsatoke i harivay, le nendese’ iareo ama’e o vinolevolen-kokolampao naho hinaha’e an-tsara avao, vaho nafaha’e iaby ze hasilofañe,
In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were ill,
17 hañenefañe i nisaontsieñe añam’ Isaia mpitoky, noro an-tiahiy, ty hoe: Toe rinambe’e o hakepehan-tikañeo, vaho nivavè’e o hasilofan-tikañeo.
in fulfilment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – “He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.”
18 Ie nivazoho’ Iesoà te niarisehoa’ i lahialeñey, le nafanto’e te hitsake mb’alafe i riakey eñe.
Seeing a crowd round him, Jesus gave orders to go across.
19 Le pok’eo ty androanavy nanao ty hoe ama’e: O Talè, hañorik’ Azo raho ndra aia’aia ty hañaveloa’o.
A teacher of the Law came up to him, and said, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’
20 Le hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà aze: Manan-joho o farasio, aman-traño o voron-dikerañeo, fe tsy aman’ ankalañe ty añambone’ i Ana’ ondaty, ana’ i tsy nahavanilahiy.
‘Foxes have holes,’ answered Jesus, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
21 Hoe ty nanoa’ ty mpiama’e raike: Apoho hey raho hiavotse handentek’ an-draeko.
‘Master,’ said another, who was a disciple, ‘let me first go and bury my father.’
22 Hoe t’i Iesoà tama’e: Oriho raho; adono handeveña’ o mihomakeo o vilasi’ iareoo.
But Jesus answered, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’
23 Nijon-dakañe t’i Iesoà naho nindre ama’e o mpiama’eo le
Then he got into the boat, followed by his disciples.
24 nikofaoke amy riakey ty tio-bey naho loho nikabokaboke o onjao vaho natao te hifoifoy i lakañey.
Suddenly so great a storm came up on the sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;
25 Nimb’ama’e mb’eo o mpiama’eo nihalaly ama’e ty hoe: O Talè, rombaho zahay, tsy mone hivetrake.
and the disciples came and roused him. ‘Master,’ they cried, ‘save us; we are lost!’
26 Hoe re tam’iereo: Ino ty ifampitoliha’ areo, ry kede fatokisañeo? Niongake re, le trinevo’e i tiokey naho i riakey hitsiñe, le nipendreñe ami’ty manao zao.
‘Why are you so timid?’ he said. ‘You of little faith!’ Then Jesus rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm followed.
27 Nitrea’ ondatio le nilatsa vaho nanao ty hoe: Ia v’itoy t’ie manao i satri’ey o tiokeo naho i riakey?
The men were amazed, and exclaimed, ‘What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!’
28 Ie tafatsàke i riakey, le niheo mb’ an-tane Gadarý alafe’ i riakey eñe, naho nifankanjò ama’e t’indaty roe vinolevolen-kokolampa hirike amo kiborio, hay aia ty fidabadoà’ iareo, kanao tsy nahafiranga mb’eo ondatio.
On getting to the other side – the region of the Gadarenes – Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.
29 Nitazataza ty hoe ama’e iareo: Inoñe ty iharoan-tika, Iesoà, Anan’ Añahare? Niheo mb’etoañe aolo’ i àndroy v’iheo hampisoañe naho handrotsake anay? Hoe t’i Iesoà am’iereo: Mivoraha boak’ ao ty valobohòke lo retia.
Suddenly they shrieked out, ‘What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?’
30 Nandrazeñe ey hoeke ey ty mpirai-tron-dambo maro,
A long way off, there was a herd of many pigs, feeding;
31 le nitoreova’ o kokolampao ami’ty hoe: Kanao tsy mete tsy iakara’ay, añomeo lily himoaha’ay amo mpirai-tron-dambo eio.
and the foul spirits began begging Jesus, ‘If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.’
32 Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Soike! Le nifaoke ama’e iereo, nitsamoake amy lambo rey; naho nitsondemboke amy zao i mpirai-tro-damboy nidorasitse mb’an-driake mb’eo vaho niòpo an-drano ao.
‘Go,’ he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the water.
33 Nangebahebake o mpiarakeo le nitriban-day, naho fonga natalili’iereo an-drov’ao, vaho hene nirevendreveñe i rovay.
At this the men who tended them ran away and went to the town, carrying the news of all that had occurred, and of what had happened to the possessed men.
34 Niavotse mb’eo iereo hanalaka Iesoà; niisa’ iereo naho nihalaly ama’e te tsy hitoam-ban-tane’ iareo.
At the news the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and, when they saw him, they entreated him to go away from their region.
